Taunt pretty much rules out any chance of your submission making it into the game since it has never been tested for PvP balance, especially because it is a) on a tokenless item, b) paired with a trait and c) on a Divine Item so you can use four of them.

It's also not really clear what mob that's meant to counter, Open Wound makes me suspect it's Shades but the nastiest attacks Shades use target the whole board and thus aren't affected by Taunt.

I made this item with pvp in mind. Originally was leaning towards this item being a helmet but I wasn't sure if open wound was a card specific to priests. Thanks for the feedback.

The contest theme is "particularly useful in battle against one of the monsters", and what my wizard wants most when fighting shades is to keep everything else away while my priests heal it to death. And frankly, I like it when the shade decides to get close to my chars instead of hiding.

I'd suggest changing the telekinesis to force cone and presenting it as an anti- zombie priests items(as a bonus it would be sweet against tombstones too)

No. Just stop and have a think about it. Two card cycling generally positive traits (certainly for warriors), two AoA are unheard of and very powerful, and Vengeance is an extraordinary card. Two of these items would be ridiculously powerful.

@Maniafig I like the addition to the capabilities of wizards here. I also appreciate the homage to the Veridian Dragon who has a score of Resistant Hide that he can draw. (For non mapmakers: veridian is the name of the dragon in the demo in the monster list.)

@Harvet this item is certainly a temptation for my triple vamp teams for whom Vampire's Kiss is both lifegain, damage, and armor removal.

The name of my item is an homage to Star Trek but if that runs afoul of copyright issues I have a secondary name which is an homage to @Robauke who made an unlucky laser dash build long ago.

The term "Away Team" was in use in sports long before (and after) Star Trek, so it can't be copyrighted by Roddenberry, so no worries on that account.
The mention of of Star Trek's away team now has me thinking of a "Red Shirt" (also an uncopyrightable sports term) card, which would result in an untimely (and probably excruciatingly painful) death to the owner if drawn. Similar to Doom, but a personal trait of 1 round duration.
Enough musing, it's past my bedtime. Good luck to you!
